What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Lemont conditions individual right-of-way permits on a surety filing, but lets a contractor with repeated right-of-way work — utility crews, paving contractors, excavators — file one $50,000 blanket bond that covers permits issued during the bond term instead of bonding each cut or excavation separately.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Lemont (the obligee). The bond guarantees permitted right-of-way work is restored to village standards — pavement, curb, and parkway repaired properly — so the Village isn’t left absorbing restoration costs.
It is not insurance for you. If the Village makes a valid claim for unrestored right-of-way work and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Keeping the blanket bond continuous lets you pull right-of-way permits without a new bond filing each time.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $50,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
